In response to Steven Paul Allen's most recent of postings, here is my method with the work pass situation. You see, at our workplace, Steve and I have our security passes that grant us entry to the building. This is how I, personally, do it:
My work pass sits gently at the end of a V Festival lanyard (seeing as we are not permitted to wear lanyards containing the company logo). I leave my pass, lanyard and all, in the small cubbyhole beneath my car stereo. In the mornings, it is usually around 7am when I get into my car. Before I enter the car, I reach in and invade the cubbyhole, retrieving the work pass with the utmost urgency. I then place the lanyard under my collar, which circumvents my neck. Once the entire package is entirely secured, I then don a fresh jacket over the top. This ensures that, on the other end of the journey, I am ready to venture from my car to the building without incurring any stoppages. Wearing the pass comes in handy, as it leaves the card in a secure and easy to reach place for when I, inevitably, have to swipe myself in through the front barriers, and also the pod door.
Similarly, when I leave work at a time close to 5pm, I don my jacket. As I have been wearing my pass all day, as has been communicated to us via security, there is no need to don this before the jacket. I then leave the building and make my way to the car. Once at the car, I remove the jacket and throw it onto the back seats. I enter the car by the driver's side door. Once the engine has been started, I am safe to remove the pass and place it back into the cubbyhole.
Work passes: How do you use yours?
